If the moon sets just after the sun, it is in the waxing crescent or waxing gibbous phase. During these phases, the moon is positioned between the new moon and the first quarter, meaning it rises shortly after the sun and sets shortly after. This timing occurs because the illuminated portion of the moon is increasing, making it visible in the evening sky.
The new moon phase is not visible in the sky because it sets and rises with the sun.
it sets to the south not the east yay means cocaine
The new moon sets about the same time as the Sun does.
If the moon is setting at 6am then it is a New Moon
If the Moon is rising at midnight, it is in the full moon phase. During this phase, the Moon is positioned opposite the Sun, allowing it to be visible throughout the night and rise around the time the Sun sets. This alignment results in the Moon being fully illuminated from our perspective on Earth.

Full Moon. I think it could be more or less any phase. The phase of the Moon doesn't change much from moonrise until the Moon sets. True. But it is only the Full Moon that rises as the sun sets, and so is highest in the sky ... due south for northern-hemisphere observers ... at Midnight.

"First Quarter" is the phase when the moon appears half-illuminated, and rises and sets roughly 6 hours (1/4 day) after the sun.
Full moon.
Around last quarter, plus or minus depending on the season.
Since it is roughly 1/4 day behind the sun, it's roughly at the First Quarter phase.
The waning crescent phase occurs just before the new moon, with only a small sliver of the moon's illuminated side visible. It rises in the early morning hours and sets before midday, making it difficult to observe. The waning crescent is associated with reflection, introspection, and preparing for new beginnings.
